If CCP knew how to balance their game then respecs would only serve to freshen things up and keep people interested far longer.

It's ok though. Outdated design philosophies for a separate genre of game will totally make this game stand out.

It does, by keeping people interested in a boring game by letting them actually do other things.

Since there's still no form of tutorials or new player help, we'll be seeing PLENTY of wonky builds, even if everyone got a free respec twice a day



Really this is just spreadsheet warriors afraid that they'll loose their only advantage on the field if players are allowed to learn from their mistakes

How about for racial Heavy's, Lights, and vehicle frames? They get ****** over? **** that; they should only people to get a respec, and that's only for the frame ( Say, I skilled Winmatar light frame, and I wanted Amarr, I would lose all of the light and scout skill levels, then transfer them over).

Or maybe CCP has to fully test the game first to balance everything. How does one test all items? Let the players respec as much as they want so they can test everything.

Once everything is balanced and the game is ready for its REAL release you can stop giving respecs (but maybe by that time you will realise that respecing doesn't harm the game).

But nice try to push your anti-respec-agenda.

Game needs Respec's or it will continue to lose players due to boredom

True. Selling respecs would definitely turn this game into P2W. I say just leave the SP system alone and work on gameplay and hit detection. Build the game up. Don't tear down what makes it unique.

Tis upto CCP now. There have been plenty of threads and a lot of discussion for and against in those threads. If the respeccers form the majority of the current player base then things could get bad later this year but if we are in the minority then things will go along with very little change.

At this point CCP is either convinced on the matter or not. If not then they will just have to accept the consequences, if any.

Yeah we should have not said a damn thing on the forums about uprising. it was fine the way they made it. not one problem, just eat it. buy boosters too. lets get in a big line and kiss thier ass.

DUST514 the game where you make the choice to wait until the game is decent enough for an actual release or just be ****** up later on.

Clearly I'm the only one that thinks this game needs work on all its gear with some decent testing (aka Beta) but hey I'm the ignorant fuckhead that wants to ruin the game mechanics that are already broken.

I'm currently just staying for the people I play with, but yes leaving the game is on my mind because each day seems like that CCP won't be able to recover from their UPRISING-fuckup anytime soon and missed their boat to be innovative. Not respeccing will only slow this process down, that's why I'm in favor of respeccing until the game is decent enough and it's also a great way to evaluate respeccing (which means it doesn't have to be permanent). Anyway feel free to think I'm just QQ'ing because I'm afraid of a NERF (not even specced into OP stuff) or that I invested my SP wrong we'll see how the game will end SOONGäó.

How do you earn something you can only request when new skills are added?

Why should you have to pay for something you already earned? Paying for Respec's is dumb unless it's purely isk.

Also, Can you name on game in the history of video games that has ever got better core mechanic post release?

It's NEVER happened, not even COD will billions can get it perfect.

Stop living in some fantasy world where this game magically transforms from **** to gold, not going to happen on PS3 maybe on PS4 but even that's a huge stretch.

hope is not that great as a strategy. We had tons of players for a week or so. its the lack of content, there is plenty for me with my 15 mil SP, but newer guys get the shaft. I have got to try all the suits and guns because i have had two respecs. most people wont even be able to change guns for 6 months. their initial bulk of skill points wasted because they got dumped an academy with no instructors. if you dont want respecs fine, shut up. an added feature couldnt hurt this game. i signed on sat morn there was less than 3000 playing. we have to keep people around to shoot at.

NONE of those are shooters, you idiot or even relate to what I was talking about.

Adapt or die? LOL your on the forums asking for nerfs, trying taking your own advice.

How do I adapt from being the best player and in the best corp?

Please explain?

Selling Respecs aren't P2W if they are sold in the manner that PLEXs are and/or as an augmentation. Then they can either be

A) Made available on the NPC market for ISK

B) Made avaiable on the Player market for ISK, AUR, Trade.


And in the end if everyone is given 1 FREE Respec and have the opportunity to purchase 1 PAID respec a year for a total of 2 then you are paying for one more bite at the apple and if trades and all the like are available but still limited to a single use then everyone is getting the same number of chances and not everyone is being forced to pay if they get it in the market for ISK.


I am open to the idea that if the market comes ahead of this augmentation then perhaps not even allowing the 1 Freebie and require all respecs to be paid with AURum or acquired through player market. The only question becomes is if limit is 2x year is there a way for a person to purchase more than 2 but still for the game code to recognize they have already hit max limit and cant use them only trade them. If not then respecs become a rationed commodity in which in theory there are only 2x X number players possible out there. Thus those who choose not to purchase with AUR may find these items skyrocket in terms of ISK value depending on the Demand given there will only ever be a fixed supply within a year.

This would create a rather nice market commoditiy with a great tie in for market players who could have fun with just this augmentation alone and it would be a pretty nice revenue generator for CCP if they priced it b/w 9.99 and 19.99

This is true. I started this game last month. I was a super scrub. I had to reset my character 10 times and spent about a month testing different builds before I found a role that I liked and fit my play style. Bad decisions should never be rewarded.

They already flock to the OP weapons just takes them 2 weeks or so.

Thank you for the kind words. I have a question. What are spikes and clusters?

bullshit, respecs are beneficial for everyone.

Care to elaborate? Or are you just gonna make statements without providing any proof or logic to back them up?

What about Heavies and their racial variant dropsuits? Would we have to grind SP for a month just so we can get into a prototype Minmitar? Having only the Amarr suit available at release did not give the Heavies any options. All the racial medium frames and one-half of the light frames were released with Uprising. Heavies got nothing.

Isn't that happening (now) without respecs too?

Anyway what do you guys think of untraining one skill-level a week with a loss of X% SP of that levels SP?

I can get that people don't want respecs in line of decision making,...but making the game unbalanced? No, do you care to elaborate?
